Expected duration: less than 1 week Design: Request for a quote for the internal design and the front cover, spine and back page. Overview Book The book is approximately 198 pages or 80,000 words Including citations, notes and references. I attach the chapter list as a file. The Budget Price of £150 is negotiable upwards for the right professional. I will need to see evidence that you understand the project and have completed similar work before. Simply stating you can do the work will not be enough.
Issues relating to design. Output: A file compatible with KDP, uploaded to KDP. You will be given access to my KDP account and provide a PDF version of the book for my use. The book will be published as an e-book and a paperback using Amazon's print-on-demand service. The front cover, spine and back page will also be required. I have written the book using Apple pages. Most chapters have footnotes; my inclination is to place the footnotes at the end of the book itself instead of at the bottom of each page. The footnotes are currently set as end of document notes in each chapter. Footnotes are inserted with the software 'Bookends". Chapter 2, the climate chapter, has many tables that need to be placed in specific places. I have locked these in the document but am not convinced they will stay in place. A detailed list and places of the table follows later. Each chapter has been formatted using "Styles' in pages, making it relatively easy to reformat. I would like to see at least one sample of your published designs, including footnotes and tables. I list of tables and their position will be provided Footnotes My preferred placement of the footnotes is at the end of the book, with a chapter title heading above each chapter of the footnotes. I would also prefer footnotes numbered for each chapter rather than continuous numbering. The size of all footnote should be the same and large enough to be legible. I have made them rather small in my original copy. The size of the footnote numbered in the text itself also needs to be consistent. I have inserted chapter numbers on most pages above the title. That's where they need to go, in some chapters, you will find them placed on the same line as a temporary measure ( I think ch2 & 4 but every chapter should be checked), as putting them in the right place would have changed the position of the tables. Expected stages. I will expect the design process to go through a four stages process First stage three possible versions of the inside pages using a sample of the pages. design three possible versions of the cover. (I am looking for a plain text design along the lines of this example click the link to see "this changes everything". Second stage respond to my comments from the previous stage and refine: one of the cover designs and one of the inner page designs, producing a new set of variations. Some discussion to fine-tune the designs and agree the final style for the inside and the cover. Third stage build the inside pages of the book and apply all of the styles that we have agreed in stage two. add a spine and a back to complete the cover. Allow for some discussion to fine-tune the design. Final stage upload the final version to my KDP account, enabling us to see what it looks like on the site. And ensure that the print on demand option works by ordering a proof copy, and on receipt of the proof, I will make the last payment.
